infotocap - convert a terminfo description into a termcap description
infotocap [tic-option] file ...
infotocap -V
infotocap looks in each given text file for terminfo descriptions. For
each one found, it writes an analogous termcap description to the
standard output stream. terminfo "use" capabilities are translated
directly to termcap tc capabilities. Because termcap is a less
expressive format than terminfo, some capabilities cannot be
translated.
This utility is implemented as a link to tic(1m), with the latter's -C
option implied. You can use other tic options such as -1, -f, -v, -w,
and -x. The -V option reports the version of ncurses associated with
this program and exits with a successful status.
